Join us on May 24th when Kathleen Riley talks about her enthralling biog of the original Astaire partnership that Ginger eclipsed
Everyone's heard of Fred and Ginger, one of history's most iconic Hollywood dance legends, but who now remembers Fred's earlier and, at the time, sensationally successful, partnership with his sister Adele?
Join us on May 24 at 7.30pm when Kathleen Riley will be talking to us about The Astaires, her unique perspective on the duo that time overlooked once Ginger blazed into Fred's life and the world's cinema screens. Her Oxford University Press biography is a lavishly illustrated, evocative and zestful account of Fred's partnership with his sister Adele at a time when celebrity still meant talent, charisma and dedication. It's a thrilling read for all fans of Hollywood's golden age as well as those with an interest in the social and historical context in which the Astaires' careers developed.
Entry will be free and wine will be served. To book your place, simply call us on 0207 431 3770 or email us at info@welbooks.co.uk
